Recycling Empty Boxes into Storage and Organizer

So I have been saving my BeautyBox5 cute boxes because I was thinking of making my son a storage and organizer for his toy car collection. Today however, I saw the ductTape that I bought a few months ago and though, maybe I should make this boxes into an organizer for my cosmetics and stuff in my dresser and that's what I did.

I also used the box I got from Influenster and made into Ms. Burrito's hair accessory box using the same pattern of ductTape.

Now it would be a lot easier for me to locate things such as tweezers, nail cutters, nail polishes, and other things.

I bought this beauty storage box via amazon but it wasn't enough to organize my stuff.

Now I have a space for everything.

I will continue to save the boxes because I want to make one for crayons, coloring pens, and other arts and craft supply of my kids.

Daughter suggested I should use some of her broken hair accessories.

I still have to finish my cereal boxes project that I made for filing my kids school papers and bills.

Empty boxes could be useful if you recycle them into something you could use around the house.

I need to start saving my boxes ASAP. I'm always in need of extra storage and this is a brilliant way to get it done. I'm also a duck tape fanatic and I've got several really cute rolls on hand. I'm expecting an influencer box any day now. It would be perfect to reuse for this.

What a great idea! Those are adorable! I always need storage containers, this is such a frugal and green way to make some at our home. Thanks so much for sharing. I never would have thought of such a simple solution!

Oh wow! It feels good to know I'm not the only repurposing stylish-looking boxes! I do that too because I feel bad if I throw something attractive away. And to date I have used them to organize the little things in my office. Thanks for sharing what you have done. It is so lovely! :)

You are so creative! I need to get organized and this is an easy way to start. I would have NO excuses since these bins are available already in my dumpster! ;) I need to get started asap. I get overwhelmed when I'm surrounded by clutter.

I absolutely love what you have done with the cereal boxes so clever and very creative, I have been keeping my love me beauty boxes since I started getting them and use them a lot to store my cosmetics and jewellery and other things I want out of sight since they have cute lids on them.

Those are some really useful and creative ideas. It is great that you found a way to reuse and to reduce your waste. The cosmetic organizer you made is really cute. I need to do a little organizing myself, bookmarking for future reference!

Oh wow…you've really made the most out of your recycled boxes. I like saving the large-size Truvia boxes to reuse. They are sturdy and come with this little lip that pulls down, so it really makes for a nice storage space. Right now, I have one on top of my microwave to hold my miscellaneous drink mixes and tea bags. Very cool about turning cereal boxes into paper holders.
